Dolce Salato – acrobatics, humor & Italian charm
Dolce Salato is a refreshing mix of street theater and modern circus art – with a Chinese pole, artistic bicycle, unicycle and a large portion of humor. He is naive, absent-minded and a dreamer. She is pure energy, speed and movement. Together they are like water and flour – two ingredients that only combine to create something magical. On a seemingly ordinary day, the two begin to bake a loaf of bread. But what seems as mundane as „the daily bread“ turns into a surprising, poetic and playful spectacle. Tuli reads upside down on the Chinese pole, while Vroni rides her bike with her hands and steers with her feet. Between acrobatic feats on the ground and in the air , the two Italians work their ingredients in their very own, charmingly chaotic way. A treat for the eyes, heart and laugh muscles.

Violetta Schneewitta from yesterday
Wild aerial acrobatics in a mini airplane, daring handstand archery manoeuvres and a penchant for dramatic entanglements – that’s Violetta Schneewitta from yesterday. Having arrived in her new-fangled flying object, she stumbles from one catastrophe straight into the next: no sooner has she landed after a spectacular crash landing and her beloved plane goes up in smoke than she finds herself in a hot affair – dancing the tango with the charming gentleman from the second row. But the jealousy drama is not long in coming, as his wife is just one step away … Violetta Schneewitta von Gestern is one of the many dazzling characters from Danza Furiosa’s ever-growing repertoire. For over 25 years, Nicola Elze – a trained artist, dancer and choreographer – has been creating unique worlds full of artistry, fantasy and humorous slapstick.
Her characters conquer stages at home and abroad with charm, grace and inexhaustible creativity . Nicola Elze has already worked for the Munich State Opera, Roncalli Events, Fura dels Baus, on cruise ships and numerous other international productions.

The Golpe – The poetry of an insomniac
‚The Golpe‚ tells the story of a clown who is caught between dream and reality during a sleepless night. As the boundaries between the two worlds blur, he wanders through a fragile twilight zone – on a path whose destination he himself does not know.
His body no longer obeys him, objects slip from his grasp and transform before his eyes. Finally, he collides with a reality that has nothing in common with his dreams. Despite all the tragedy, this character makes us laugh – and be amazed.
The performance combines physical theater, dance and circus arts to create a poetic yet humorous narrative. Visual comedy, acrobatic elements and an oversized balloon make ‚The Golpe‘ an impressive experience in public space.
